Mouse Update #2
Sep. 30th, 2005 04:25 pmSo! Tohru's babies were born on Monday night, so they're four days old now; I needed to clean the nursery like, three days ago, but I didn't want to disturb Tohru too soon after they were born, so I left it.
Today, though, I decided I really did need to do it-- so I very carefully took her out and put her in a sepparate makeshift terrarium, then set about moving the babies. I was so afraid I was going to squeeze too hard when I picked them up and pop their little heads off or something. @_@;; But all was well. I cleaned the terrarium and then put them all back and put Tohru back in, and she wasn't upset that I'd moved things, so it was all okay. ^_^
But while I was at it, I ( snapped a couple of quick pictures. )
And then, a couple of pics of Ryu, who is ( currently the biggest of my pregnant-mice. )
Finally, my newly-constructed Mouse Dormatories:
The top two dorms are designated FEMALE (Ryu is in the middle one). You can't see it particularly well, but the bottom one is labelled "Here Thar Be MALES". lol. ^^ The cage is empty, but that's where Rin used to be (all on his lonesome), until last night when I set up the dorms and moved him into the bottom one. Tohru is in a sepparate nursery-terrarium across the room. :)
DORM 1: Noriko, Hana, Kisa
DORM 2: Ryu, Kagura, Arisa
DORM 3: Rin
NURSERY 1: Tohru & family
I need another nursery... I might buy one when we go out to do groceries tomorrow, since the pet store is selling them for $10 right now.
Fun stuff!

Okay, here's a good example of the wonky sense of humor Andy has that I keep trying to tell people about. ^^ He did this for a class at his university (just what the original assignment was, I have no idea), and emailed it to me-- I found it funny as hell, and asked if I could share it, and he said sure. ^^
So! School paper (c) THE Andy Chapman.
The zip file has the original microsoft word file that he sent me, and an .html file I made of it, for those who don't have word (you should be able to open word files in wordpad, though). Some of the wrapping and whatnot is screwy in the .html file, but all the info is there. X3
